Personally I preferred the old one, because it was more unique and cleaner than this one. Honestly to me this theme looks half-arsed by whoever designed and/or coded it, but that's just one out of many opinions.

I pretty much dislike the whole theme, which doesn't happen often. I'm sorry, but I really expected a better theme and something more original like the first one. However like I said, this is just one opinion out of many so don't worry about it
